Question about toxicity and general advice
    #5281965 - 02/09/06 02:05 PM (18 years, 10 days ago)

Hi there im looking for some things to be cleared up, I have mushrooms I dried (but not completely) from about october. They have been sitting in my room in my cupboard up until now, theres about 2 biggish trips worth if they were in good condition (doubt they are now) theyve been sitting for 3 or 4 months and just now I would like to take them, I dont want to post this in well being forum because I know from experience its full of suicidal and unhappy people and i dont think theyre going to give the right advice

Firstly, they dont smell "bad" at all, they actually smell even less than freshly dried ones, so i dont think they would do me harm but im not sure, theyve been sitting for 4 months in my cupboard, they are completely dry now but were not at the time, i dont know if that tiny bit of moisture i left in them (after 85% drying them in a very low heat) could cause me problems in forms of bacteria

These are liberty cap mushrooms I picked myselfe in scotland, theres no doubt about ID as ive tripped 30 times im sure... all but 2 times on liberty caps i/friends picked (the other time was hawiain)

The reason for this is I have had some issues in my self where I am not very good at socialising due to basically sitting in the house smoking dope escaping life for long periods on and off.... however I am very mentally aware if that makes sense and know what the problems are all about..... I've had jobs on and off im very articulate and intelligent and can get into a job no problem but once im in I cannot keep up this bright witty persona, its like i dont know the language to get along with people and have a laugh unless theyre people ive known for a long time - or are into psycadelics....

I've just recently started a canvassing job selling door to door, phone contracts (persuading people to sign up) ive been doing it for 2 days, yesterday i was so nervous i didnt do it after i got to the area on the bus and walked.... got picked up

today i did go in after revising a sales pitch but didnt feel very comfortable doing it... and did have limited success but it wasnt great at all

Tomorrow I'm meeting this hot as fuck girl who is a bit of a manipulative bitch but friendly on the surface im worried im going to fuck up and make it awkward.... like it has gone down in every job ive been in eventually, i just cant keep up the social mask i put on in the interview..... and it goes downhill,

Anyway back to the point this job pays very very well and I dont want to lose it, also, although its a shock to the system and I need confidence and im finding it very tough now and stressed no end (cried last night) I feel that it could be a good thing and a month down the line my progress in confidence people skillls could be dramatiaclly improved

Heres the thing

Those shrooms look fine to me and im pretty sure they will still be active. I see shrooms kind of like my little god, when i trip, I like to do it alone or with only a very trusted friend... I am shattered tonight but was thinking if I take them they could put me in that uninhibited ego loss state where I feel so much love and really see the reasons of my stress, what i can do to improve... what ive been doing wrong lately, its very powerful for me (not had a bad trip for years) I'm thinking if i have a powerfullish trip tonight on these shrooms it could really help me in my people skills tomorrow and onward because it normally does for a little while after..... but then again it could also make things very difficult if it upsets me alot and I know i am very stressed now

However ive been stressed loads of times and am very anxious anyway... yet dont have bad trips, i kind of see the shrooms as a guide that is to be respected as much as strict religious people worship theyre god.. theyve allways helped me I think

Ive not posted on here for months and was scotsmushie before incase you wondered (couldnt find password) but I know this is the best place to get advice for a matter like this.... I would like to take them, if not tonight, then tomorrow..... what are you're thoughts on my predicament

I know you cant judge that well without speaking to me but I would like the advice on it all anyway, especially toxicity of mushrooms

thank you

Hello,

I'm not sure about the toxicity of mushrooms, (I've havn't tried shrooms yet) but I think it might not be a good idea to convince yourself that the only way you can interact with people socially is through drugs - I have had similar problems myself, and have found that if anything, a break from drugs helps in social situation (particularly cannabis, I find that simply makes you paranoid amongst other people, and furthermore, after smoking that for so long, i've realised I don't even particularly enjoy smoking it - the 'magic' has all gone, I just smoke it out of habit and because all my freinds do as well)

I had a similar cold-calling type job, and found that, yes, the first few shifts were quite difficult (forget what your supposed be saying, feel intimidated by the fact your invading somebody's privacy) but then after doing it a few times you just learn not to care about it at all, and actually start to enjoy it! Also, after doing it again and again, you know ur sales pitch off by heart, and can do it without even thinking about it.

Onr of the pieces of advice I have heard perhaps more than any other regarding shrooms is not to do them if you're feeling stressed out - I understand that you believe that the shrooms could be the key to removing this stress, and that may even be correct, but at the end of the day, if you go down that road, you're RELYING on the psychedelic drugs to get you through things, which surely cant be a good thing for your self-esteem, and general mental stability.

Its up to you my freind, i'm sure you realise that you are the only one that can determine what is the best course of action, but one piece of advice I've found useful is to try to teach yourself not to have to rely on drugs to be able to get along with people.

Perhaps you feel (like I did for many years) that you have to hide the 'real you' from society, and make out to other people in general that you are 'more like them' and in a way, aspects of that are perhaps sensible (its probably not a good idea to go around telling everyone you're into psychedelics), but I found in overcoming social 'awkwardness' (im sure you know what i mean) it was entirely beneficial simply to express my REAL feelings to people, rather than expressing feelings that I THOUGHT they expected me to have/wanted me to have.

Doing this helps you to develop a true charachter for yourself that you feel confident in, then you begin not to CARE about how other people percieve you, and when that happens the social 'awkwardness' disappears.

Im only talking from my personal experience, but i hope this has been of some use to you.

Peace, Love & Unity

Alex (18)

hi mate thanks alot for that

what you say rings true quite alot for me, but its not quite the same. Its now 12am here midnight, so I am not going to trip as I'm very tired and I know how much it would take out of me both physically and mentally. If I'm not out on saturday in this job I will be taking the mushrooms friday night as long as I get clarification they are safe to eat

I also realise what you say about using the drugs to cope. Sometimes when I feel so stressed, I think.... "remember the mushrooms, what would you think if mushroom was in my system, nothing bads gonna happen, its ok" Its just like, when im sitting down talking to someone, its fine, I dont mind it because im completely in control. But when I'm outside/at work etc I just look at all the cars speeding by people with theyre uninviting look on theyre faces (probably similar to mine at the time) and get really anxious and intimidated.
Is this what life is? some people just treat it as a laugh and know how to compartmentalise, I think thats very hard, and i wish I could. I am a pretty fit person physically as the only andidote apart from getting drunk is to push my body hard in the morning each day, and if I do i generally feel less intimidated by things and more confident within myselfe

This also worrys me hugely. Because I am in good physical condition and toned if you like, I know people kind of look up to me and speak to me and make more of an effort than normal including good looking girls but I really wish they didnt because I feel like I have to live up to the person who will automacically be very confident and easy to get along with, and I get so stressed that I may say something to make "them" think I'm being arrogant or something to them, when the true reason is im very nervous to be myselfe and find it very difficult just to build any sort of rapport with them when im given an obvious opportunity, i freeze, it makes me feel terrible and them feel stupidand rejected too i assume. When this happens with people and I know ive missed out on a girl or even a friendship because of my inadequecies it is really upsetting. mainly because I have periods in between jobs when apart from seeing a few mates I've had for years I make myselfe stay in the house smoking lots of weed because it makes me less bored, getting very depressed, but keeping myselfe ontop of the going insane line by pushing myselfe every morning. I assume people think I must go to the gym get any girl I want and maybe they would like part of that life when its actually nothing of the sort. I find it very stressful and difficult to deal with to try to live up to the persona of what they expect when at the moment its not true.... its a catch22 or something, I go out and it is awful, I stay in, and I lose more time and the problem gets even bigger

I am not really sure what to do to get better I know having my independence will make a huge difference and am working on getting my own flat but for immediate help I dont know what to do. My friends I do have dont speak about it but I know it confuses them so much that I am like this as with my 2 real friends I have they would both see me as theyre best friend, these are 2 people ive known since 12 (19 now) who are perfectly "normal" it also confuses me though and im now starting to get very very anxious about the fact I am getting nowhere with girls even though I should be. Its very worrying for me a conversation will crop up as they do about girls, what they do in theyre social lives etc and I cant really add much without lying and im a bad liar. I just do not have the required skills needed and feel I get looked upon somewhat of a rogue because of it, which upsets me alot as I really just want to get on with 99% of people and dont hold any grudges.

well im a little bit glad I got that off my chest and tomorrow's mushroom trip if it goes ahead will definitely be mentally exhausting as its going to be the first for 4 months and in that time I've admitted some things to myselfe I couldnt for a very long time.

thankyou for listening
